Horse

Þessi eru heiti hesta talið; þessi eru hesta heiti í Þorgrímsþulu:
(325) Hrafn ok Sleipnir,
hestar ágætir
Valr ok Léttfeti
var þar Tjaldari,
Gulltoppr ok Goti,
getit heyrðak Sóta,
Mór ok Lungr með Mari.

These are the names of horses enumerated in the Rhymes of Thorgrímr:
Hrafn and Sleipnir,
The famous horses;
Valr and Léttfeti;
Tjaldari a was there too;
Gulltopr and Goti;
I heard Sóti told of;
Mór and Lungr with Marr.

(326) Vigg ok Stúfr
var með Skævaði,
Þegn knátti Blakkr bera,
Silfrtoppr ok Sinir,
svá heyrðak Fáks of getit,
Gullfaxi ok Jór með goðum.

(211,1) Vigg and Stúfr
Were with Skævadr;
Blakkr could well bear Thegn;
Silfrtoppr and Sinir;
I heard Fákr spoke of;
Gullfaxi and Jór with the Gods were.

(89,1) (327) Blóðughófi hét hestr
ok bera kváðu
ǫflgan Atriða.
Gils ok Falhófnir,
Glær ok Skeiðbrimir;
þar var ok Gyllis of getit.

Blódughófi hight a horse
That they said beareth
The strength-eminent Atridi;
Gísl and Falhófnir;
Glær and Skeidbrimir;
Mention, too, was made of Gyllir.

Þessir ró enn talðir í Alsvinnsmálum:
(328) Dagi reið Drǫsli
en Dvalinn Móðni,
Hǫð Hjálmþér
en Haki Fáki;
reið bani Belja
Blóðughófa
en Skævaði
skati Haddingja.

These also are recorded in Kálfsvísa:
Dagr rode Drösull,
And Dvalinn rode Módnir;
Hjálmthér, Háfeti;
Haki rode Fákr;
The Slayer of Beli
Rode Blódughófi,
And Skævadr was ridden
By the Ruler of Haddings.

(329) Vésteinn Vali
en Vifill Stúfi,
Meinþjófr Mói
en Morginn Vakri,
Áli Hrafni,
til íss riðu
en annarr austr
und Aðilsi,
grár hvarfaði
geiri undaðr.

Vésteinn rode Valr,
And Vifill rode Stúfr;
Meinthjófr rode Mór,
(212,1) And Morginn on Vakr;
Áli rode Hrafn,
They who rode onto the ice:
But another, southward,
Under Adils,
A gray one, wandered,
Wounded with the spear.

(330) Bjǫrn reið Blakki
en Bjárr Kerti,
Atli Glaumi
en Aðils Slungni,
Hǫgni Hǫlkvi
en Haraldr Fǫlkvi,
Gunnarr Gota
en Grana Sigurðr.

Björn rode Blakkr,
And Bjárr rode Kertr;
Atli rode Glaumr,
And Adils on Slöngvir;
Högni on Hölvir,
And Haraldr on Fölkvir;
Gunnarr rode Goti,
And Sigurdr, Grani.

(90,1) Árvakr ok Alsviðr draga sólina sem fyrr er ritat. Hrímfaxi eða Fjǫrsvartnir draga nóttina. Skinfaxi eða Glaðr fylgja deginum.

Arvakr and Alsvidr draw the Sun, as is written before; Hrímfaxi or Fjörsvartnir draw the Night; Skinfaxi and Gladr are the Day’s horses.
